Looking for Audi RS6 Owners Manual? |
||||||||||||
The RS6 was available only with Audi's Quattro All-Wheel Drive system and a 5-speed "Tiptronic" transmission, the same unit that was being used in the 6.0 litre W12 powered A8, chosen because none of Audi's manual transmissions could cope with the RS6's high torque output. The RS6 also served as the debut model for Audi's Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) system. The system is mainly mechanical, and uses a pump to keep pressure in the shock abosorbers during cornering to counteract rolling and pitching. The system is "intelligent", it is able to adjust the stiffness at each shock absorber constantly to maintain both a comfortable ride and high grip. However, DRC's main advantage is that it operates without the need for most of the complicated electronics required in similar systems from Mercedes-Benz and other competitors. According to testing by Car and Driver magazine, the RS6 can accelerate from 0 - 62 mph (0 - 100 km/h) in just 4.7(Avant 4.9) seconds, 0 - 124 mph in 17.6(Avant 17.8) seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). It can stop from 60 mph (96.6 to 0 km/h) in 118 feet (35.97m), thanks to its large 365/335 mm (14.4/13.2 in) front/rear brakes, and an uncommon eight-piston design in the front. While about 8000 RS6s were produced worldwide, approximately 1,200 units were sold in North America. In 2003, it was priced at $82,000 for the U.S. market (Car and Driver estimate). A small community of RS6 owners exists in North America and some refer to the vehicle as "The Beast" or "The Lord of the Rings" (in reference to Audi's interlocking ring logo). RS stands for RennSport - Racing in German, fitting as the RS line of cars from Audi are the most performance oriented of all Audis. There was also an RS6 Plus version of the A6-range, producing over 480bhp/353kW @ 6000-6400rpm and 413lb-ft/560Nm @ 1950-6000rpm(engine code BRV) - topping out 280km/h(174mph). This performance was achieved with a new ECU and two additional radiators behind the intercoolers(which were available to RS6 in hotter climate countries). A mere 4.6 seconds elapse for the standard discipline of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h. The Quattro RS6 Plus hits 200 km/h in just 17.3 seconds. The RS6 Plus came with DRC as standard, also a Sports Suspension Plus(lowering the standard sports suspension by 10mm) was available with no extra cost. The wheels were uprated from 255/40 R18 to 255/35 R19 size. The car came only as an Avant and was sold only in European markets. It lasted for just one model year but quickly sold out once it was released(999 units total). The last three digits of the VIN are reproduced on a plaque inside the car, displayed on the centre console. |
